Money Forward, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and Group CEO: Yosuke Tsuji, hereinafter "Money Forward") and Business Engineering, Inc. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Masaichi Hata, hereinafter "B-EN-G") will commence API integration between "Money Forward Cloud Consolidated Accounting" and the cloud-based international accounting & ERP service "GLASIAOUS" around the end of April 2026.
This integration will link the accounting data of overseas subsidiaries managed within "GLASIAOUS" to "Money Forward Cloud Consolidated Accounting," seamlessly integrating overseas financial accounting up to the parent company's consolidated closing. This will support advanced global management and rapid decision-making by visualizing the group's overall financial status in a timely manner and accelerating monthly closing.
■ Background
For Japanese companies expanding globally, the integrated management of business information across domestic and overseas locations is a critical challenge for improving management transparency and enabling swift decision-making.
Overseas subsidiaries, in particular, face a multitude of complex requirements that differ from domestic management, such as compliance with local accounting standards, operations in multi-currency and multi-language environments, and ensuring consistency in journal entries with parent company accounting standards. Without an overseas-specific accounting foundation that can address these needs, it is difficult to grasp local financial information promptly and accurately, which also hinders the management of early warning signs for group-wide business risks.
Against this backdrop, while the number of overseas bases adopting "GLASIAOUS" has been increasing, many cases still involve spending significant time on the individual creation or manual transcription of consolidated packages for linkage with the headquarters' consolidated closing.
■ Integration Overview
Accounting data from overseas bases entered into "GLASIAOUS" will be automatically imported into "Money Forward Cloud Consolidated Accounting" via API integration. This seamless data migration between systems is expected to yield the following benefits:
* Overseas base data can be analyzed using GLASIAOUS's diverse dimensions, and this information can be utilized in consolidated closing.
* Data accuracy is ensured through GLASIAOUS's internal control functions, enabling seamless integration.
* Double data entry and manual transcription are eliminated, significantly reducing staff workload.
* The speed of consolidated closing operations improves, leading to earlier monthly closings and timely understanding of the financial status.
